%LOVE EXCLUSIVE ADJECTIVE ADVERB DESCRIBE GOOD EVIL 911015

     Often  our lives,  relationships  and  being/becoming
who  we  are  are  dominated  by  the  descriptive  words-
concepts-adjective-adverbs-images  which  in  our   lives-
relationships-being-becoming  have become associated  with
being/becoming good-accepted-affirmed-respected-loved.

     If the words-concepts-adjectives-adverbs-images which
are   most   intimately   associated   with   objectivity-
measurements-computations-precision-perfection-detachment-
control-etc.   are associated in our lives with  goodness-
acceptance-affirmations-respect-love;   then we are likely
to tend towards engaging primarily in activities,  ways of
being/becoming  and states of consciousness to which those
words-concepts-adjectives-adverbs-images    apply     most
exclusively.

     Exclusivity   undermines balance which  is  essential
to  personal and communal integrity;  thus exclusivity  is
evil-alienative-disintegrative-sick.

     We  are sick and disintegrate in alienative  contexts
when  we  are dominated by the  exclusive  words-concepts-
adjectives-adverbs-images   which  are   most   intimately
associated    with    objectivity-measurement-computation-
precision-perfection-detachment-control-etc.

     This is so  because if we are so dominated we are not
free  to be authentically involved in  reflexive  imaging,
conversation,   dialogue,   writing,   reading,   singing,
dancing, art, music, drama, cinema, poetry, sexuality, and
other  forms of intimate relationships which are open  and
honestly responsive and responsible.

     Authentic involvement  entails intimate participation
which   is   counter-indicated  by   regarding   goodness-
acceptance-affirmations-respect-love     as     associated
exclusively   with    objectivity-measurement-computation-
precision-perfection-detachment-control-etc.

     In the light of these considerations we will do  well
to  give  careful  consideration  to  the  words-concepts-
adjectives-adverbs-images   which  are   most   intimately
associated  with  our most common experiences of  what  we
experience   as  goodness-acceptance-affirmations-respect-
love  in  our personal and communal lives.  We need to  be
honest   with   ourselves   and   others   regarding   the
consequences of permitting such words-concepts-adjectives-
adverbs-images  to dominate our lives to the exclusion  of
being   ourselves  authentically  involved  in   reflexive
imaging,   conversation,   dialogue,   writing,   reading,
singing,  dancing,  art,  music,  drama,  cinema,  poetry,
sexuality, and other forms of intimate relationships which
are open and honestly responsive and responsible.

     So  long  as  we  repress and  refuse  to  deal  with
considerations   such  as  these  we  will  be  unable  to
recognize and accept the ways of Love which might lead  us
to the salvation which we fear because of our imprisonment
in   our  dishonest  collusive  games  of  addictive   and
codependent mutual self deception.
